Am I just lucky? I've downloaded thousands of torrents over the past 10 years at TPB and I've never been infected with anything, not even malware. I'm there almost daily. The only annoying bit is a pop up window usually to a poker site when you first visit. Close it and all good.

Yes you are just lucky. There a millions of viruses on the torrents, most of the keygens are viruses, probably about 10% of the executables have viruses. Virus checkers will not prevent a custom made trojan from installing a backdoor on your system.

But what is life without taking a few risks. The only way to 100% prevent viruses is create a computer without any internet, no updates, no software changes ever.

Go for it.

so much awesome in this viddy, Lou Wainman talk about how he's going to turn into some sort of kitesurfing Batman, strap a kite onto his back and . . . no real clear what his next step is you see bruno Legaignoux and if he isn't the most nerdy character to ever kitesurf, you see Lenten & Hadlow at 13 or so busting some board offs.
